Behringer announced today a new collaboration with sister-company Klark Teknik in the development of its new XENYX QX Series of USB mixers. The eight new models feature custom-designed FX engines from Klark Teknik with 32 studio-grade presets, dual addressable parameters, Tap function and storable user settings, plus “wireless-ready” integration with Behringer’s upcoming ULM Series digital wireless microphones.

With configurations ranging from 10 to 24 inputs, QX Series mixers feature Behringer’s XENYX mic preamps, “one-knob” mono channel compressors, built-in USB/audio interfaces, +48 V phantom power and “British” 3-band EQs.

These USB mixers are designed for all live sound, recording and podcasting applications. Behringer is also offering a free recording/editing software download at the company’s website. The company says it turns any Mac or PC computer into a high-performance audio workstation. All models are covered by BEHRINGER’s 3-year limited warranty program.
